    Hello everyone,
    I was a rough metal detecting outing for me! I'm not totally healed from my head cold and body aches, but I still went out. 7 hours :confused:... I'm crazy! Pelham Park Bronx, NYC

    These are Wheat Cents

    Kool find in the form of a money clip Mr. Ed. Do you think it was recently lost or do you think it had been there for some time?

    Glad you got out. Sorry your still feeling under the weather. Despite feeling poorly that money clip is worth the trip. That’s a keeper for sure!

    Great finds! Edge dents on the money clip may have been caused by a shovel. Digger probably thought they hit a rock and dug to the side ... missing something really nice. Mike

    I just took a better look at the Planet Fitness Token
    I thought it was for a locker.
    It's for a massage :rolleyes:

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Yes it was!

    Probably. I also unfortunately tried to pry it open because I didn't know what it was at first. In doing so I kind of cracked the area that is bent :(.. Then I bent it back.

    I also wanted to mention a bit about this item.
    It's a very old drawer pull. Copper maybe brass.

    I found some tin foil yesterday. Now, I am ready for the arrival. :greyalien:
    Joking aside, I am going to try to hit a spot that I found a small gold ring at. Wish me a blessing on this chilly Sunday. pray.gif pray.gif pray.gif
    There is one thing that I noticed yesterday. I'm not as young as I used to be. :bigtears:

    Getting up off my knees is not my favorite thing to do any longer. Not sure what I'm going to do when I'm no longer able to do it.

    I can’t get on my knees so you’ll be acting like me. That’s a frightful thought isn’t it?

    I use a special padding that goes underneath my right knee. It slips into the pants leg. Then I use my shovel as leverage to get myself up from the ground.
